Whether it's his classic work with OutKast or his solo efforts, the eclectic Three Stacks is always able to attack a track with his own, unique style and flavor.

Well, that exciting time came once again last week, when Dre's collaboration with Beyoncé, "Party," leaked to the 'net. The track—no surprise—showcased Andre's lyrical abilities and aura once again. What it also did, though, was make us decide to take a look back at his history of guest spots as a featured artist, by the numbers.
